The sun shines bright
Warming my heart
Lighting my soul
Dissipating the dark
That blocked my goal

The demon that hunted
The bounty within
Has left me to be
Whole once again

No longer running
From here to there
I am able to rest
Renewing my strength
Finally passing this test

It was never easy
To be in this place
Where I’d always see
His gruesome face

He is vanquished
On this peaceful night
Never to be seen
By dawn’s sweet light

Banished to his home
Far away from here
Where he cannot hurt
Those I hold dear

Thank you my friend
For all you have done
You are the reason
I walk in the sun

No fear of darkness
Left within my heart
Just hope beating true
Throughout every part

You made the difference
When I needed it most
So to you I dedicate
This heartfelt post

I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps

Hello Lone Wolf,

You told it like it is, and very well at that. Good friends are hard to come by, but when one is found, they can be the greatest comfort.

Good friends are an asset, Lone Wolf, and one's that think about you are even more special.

Great tribute
